My problem-solving skills center on quickly getting to the root of a challenge, leveraging outside-of-the-box thinking to uncover the best solutions and then winning cooperation and buy-in from stakeholders to make it happen. I take what’s available and make the most of it.

For example, I led a turnaround that helped a firm avoid bankruptcy, by catapulting profit 400% and sales from $1.2M to $12.4M. At another firm, I managed growth both organically and through acquisitions that launched sales volume eight-fold to $87M domestically, increasing profitability even while more than tripling staff size to 250.

While my skills have been finely honed by hands-on management of companies, they are complemented by a solid education. I hold an Executive MBA from the Luther J. Holtzz Graduate School of Business at the University of Pittsburgh and a BA degree from West Virginia College.

If my skill set and abilities fit your needs, I would be pleased to meet with you to discuss my credentials and capabilities in greater detail. In the meantime, thank you for your consideration.
